b) List disadvantages of typical file processing system 2M

Ans. 1. Data redundancy: Data redundancy refers to the duplication of
data which often leads to higher storage costs and poor access Any 4
disadvantages
time. ½M each
2. Data inconsistency: Data redundancy leads to data inconsistency.
Same data at multiple places can lead to inconsistent output in
case of update, and delete anomalies.
3. Data Isolation: Because data are scattered in various files, and
files may be in different formats, writing new application
programs to retrieve the appropriate data is difficult.
4. Dependency on application programs: Changing files would lead
to change in application programs.
5. Atomicity issues: Atomicity of a transaction refers to “All or
nothing”, which means either all the operations in a transaction
executes or none.
6. Data Security: Security constraints are difficult to apply in file
processing systems.

c) List system privileges and object privileges 2M

Ans. System privileges:
1. CREATE: creates the database objects System
privileges 1M
2. ALTER: alters/ modifies the database objects
3. DROP: drops or deletes the database objects.
Object privileges: Object
1. READ or SELECT lets you access an object and its attributes privileges 1M
from the table.
2. UPDATE lets you modify attributes of objects in the table.
3. INSERT lets you add new objects to the table.
4. DELETE lets you delete objects from the table.

d) State the causes of database failure 2M

Ans. 1. Failure of a transaction or program: If a transaction that is in
progress fails due to an internal issue. Any 2 causes

UNION ALL:
This operation is similar to Union. But it also shows the duplicate
rows.

The above relation is in 1NF as all the domains are having atomic

Second Normal Form (2NF): A relation is said to be in the second

normal form if it is in first normal form and all the non key attributes
are fully functionally dependent on the primary key.
Example: In the above relation NAME, LOCATION depends on
SNO and QTY on

Supplier(SNO, SNAME, LOCATION) and SP(SNO, PNO, QTY)

c) Explain overall structure of DBMS with the help of diagram. 4M

Ans. Components of DBMS structure are classified in 3 categories as:
1. Query processor: Explanation
2M
Embedded DML pre compiler: It converts DML statements Diagram
embedded in application. Program to normal procedural calls in host 2M
language.

DML Compiler: It translates DML statements of high level language

into low level instruction that a query evaluation engine understands.

DDL interpreter: It interprets DDL statements and records them in a

set of tables containing metadata.

Query evaluation Engine: It executes low level instructions

generated by DML compiler and issued by query processor to select
efficient ways to execute query.

2. Storage Manager Components:

Transaction manager: It ensures that the database remains in

consistent state despite of the system failure and that concurrent
transaction execution proceeds without conflicting.

File Manager: It manages the allocation of space on disk storage and

data structures used to represent information stored on disk

Buffer Manager: It is responsible for fetching data from disk storage

into main memory and deciding what data to cache memory.

Authorization and Integrity Manager: It tests for the satisfaction of

integrity constraints checks the authority of users to access data.

3. Disk Storage:
Data files: It stores the database.
Data Dictionary: It stores metadata that hold particular values.
Indices: Provide fast access to data items that hold particular values.
Statistical data: It stores statistical information about the data in the
database.

based on a related column between them. SQL Join types are

as follows:
1) INNER JOIN or EQUI JOIN:
A join which is based on equalities is called equi join. In equi join
comparison operator “=” is used to perform a Join.

Syntax:
SELECT
tablename.column1_name,tablename.column2_name
FROM table_name1,table_name2
where
table_name1.column_name=table_name2.column_nam
e;
Example:
Select stud_info.stud_name, stud_info.branch_code,
branch_details.location
From stud_info, branch_details
Where
Stud_info.branch_code=branch_details.branch_code;
2) SELF JOIN:
The SQL SELF JOIN is used to join a table to itself, as if the table
were two tables, temporarily renaming at least one table in the SQL
statement.
Syntax:
SELECT a.column_name, b.column_name
FROM table1 a, table1 b
WHERE a.common_filed = b.common_field;
Example:
Select x.stud_name, y.stud_name
from stud_info x, stud_info y
Where x.leader= y.stud_id;

3) LEFT OUTER JOIN:

A left outer join retains all of the rows of the “left” table, regardless
of whether there is a row that matches on the “right” table.
Syntax:
Select column1_name,column2_name
from table1name any_alias1 ,table2name any_alias2
on any_alias1.columnname(+) =

Example:

from employees e, departments d
on e.department_id(+) = d.department_id;
OR
select last_name, department_name
from employees left outer join departments
on employees.department_id =
departments.department_id;

4) RIGHT OUTER JOIN:

A right outer join retains all of the rows of the “right” table,
regardless of
whether there is a row that matches on the “left” table.
Syntax:
Select column1name, column2name
from table1name any_alias1, table2name any_alias2
on any_alias1.columnname =any_alias2.columnname
(+);
OR
Select column1name, column2name
from table1name any_alias1 right outer join table2
name any_alias2
on any_alias1.columnname =any_alias2.columnname;
Example:
Select last_name,department_name from employees e,
departments d on
e.department_id = d.department_id(+);
OR
Select last_name, department_name
from employees e right outer join departments d
on e.department_id = d.department_id;
5) NON EQUI JOIN:

e) Explain database recovery techniques with example. 4M

Ans. Note Any other relevant example shall be considered. Descriptive
example shall be considered Any 2
techniques
Database Recovery Techniques: Database recovery techniques are
1½ M each
used to restore the original data in system from backup. Backward
and forward recovery is two types of database recovery. Example
Recovery Techniques: 1M
1. Log based recovery.
2. Shadow paging recovery
3. Checkpoints

1. Log based recovery: It records sequence of log records, which

includes all activities done by database users. It records the activities
when user changes the database. In case of database failure, by
referring the log records users can easily recover the data.
2. Shadow paging recovery: This technique is the alternative for log
based recovery. In this technique, database is divided into pages that
can be stored on the disk. The page table is used to maintain the
record of location of pages. In case of database failure, page table is
used to recover the parts of database.
3. Checkpoints: Checkpoint records all committed transactions into
logs. When system fails, it check log to determine recovery action.

Example :Consider multiple transactions named t1,t2,t3, and t4 as

shown in the image below. A checkpoint at a time during the first
transaction and the system fails during the fourth transaction, but it is
possible to recover the data to the state of the checkpoint made during
t1.
A checkpoint is made after all the records of a transaction are written
to logs to transfer all the logs from the local storage to the permanent
storage for future use.

Given Student Report Database, in which student marks assessment is
recorded. In such schema, create a trigger so that the total and

CREATE TRIGGER stud_marks

before INSERT
on
Student
for each row
set Student.total = Student.subj1 + Student.subj2 + Student.subj3,
Student.per= Student.total * 60 / 100;

To delete a trigger:
DROP TRIGGER stud_marks;
